The social media factor was among the reasons he and other council members organized a public safety summit planned for 1-5 p.m. Saturday at the San Pedro Elks Lodge, 1748 Cumbre Drive, San Pedro. Admission is free and open to the public.

The afternoon of speakers and discussions will cover a wide range of issues: crime prevention and neighborhood watch groups; the role of schools and sports in the community; homelessness; waterfront redevelopment; Rancho San Pedro government housing; beautifying and maintaining parks and key stretches of town such as Gaffey Street and Pacific Avenue; and improving streets and traffic, including the issues of skateboarding, Paseo del Mar, and the street realignment planned as part of the waterfront development.

Speakers include Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino, Los Angeles Police Harbor Division Capt. Nancy Lauer and Senior Lead Officer Eve Wright, and area business and education leaders and city engineers.

Behar hopes the afternoon will result in “more connectivity between neighbors.”
